About the Item
Technical Overview
This antique Persian Shiraz rug dates to the late 19th century, circa 1870–1890, and originates from the tribal weaving communities surrounding Shiraz in southern Iran. Woven in a standard medium rectangular format, it measures approximately 6 ft 5 in x 8 ft 10 in (about 196 x 269 cm), making it a versatile size for both primary and secondary living spaces. The rug is hand-knotted in wool on a cotton foundation, with a low pile that reflects its tribal origins and long, practical use. As a one-of-a-kind antique, it combines regional authenticity with enduring decorative appeal.
Design Analysis
The composition is organized around a small square central medallion set within an open field, framed by softly articulated corner spandrels. The surrounding field is intentionally sparse, with scattered diamonds, rosettes, and small boteh or leaf-like motifs creating a light, airy rhythm. A single main border encloses the design, with minimal or ghosted guard stripes that maintain a quiet visual transition. The palette is gently faded and harmonious, dominated by warm parchment beige and muted silver-blue, accented with soft peach, camel brown, and weathered taupe. Noticeable abrash, especially in the blue areas, creates horizontal tonal banding that enhances the rug’s antique, pastoral character.
Weave and Performance
Knotted with symmetrical (Turkish) knots at an estimated density of 100–150 KPSI, the rug offers a sturdy yet flexible structure typical of Shiraz tribal weaving. The low pile height of approximately 4 mm results in a matte surface with a relaxed hand and easy maintenance. A woven cotton foundation supports durability, making the rug suitable for low to medium traffic areas such as living rooms, bedrooms, dining rooms, and studies.
Professional Application
This Shiraz rug works beautifully in relaxed traditional, rustic, and collected interiors that favor light palettes and organic texture. Its open design and pastel coloration allow it to soften darker furnishings or complement neutral spaces without overwhelming them. The medium scale makes it ideal as a feature rug in seating areas, bedrooms, or libraries, while its rarity and prestige support long-term decorative value.
Condition
Care
The rug is in excellent antique condition for its age, with even wear, stable fibers, and no visible repairs, stains, odor, or moth damage. Selvedges appear intact and straight, and color variation is consistent with age-related abrash rather than dye instability. Professional cleaning using low-moisture methods is recommended, with dye testing prior to wet cleaning and avoidance of aggressive or high-alkaline treatments, in keeping with 1stDibs standards for fine antique rugs.
